Default How much should a queen mattress and box spring cost and what do I look for by way of value?

The problem is with subjective versus objective answers.

I'm looking for an objective answer.
Price.
Quality.
Location.

I'm not looking for a subjective answer because they
are essentially nearly worthless, due to the fact that
everyone defines "their" comfort differently.

I have never had a bad night's sleep in my life, other
than when I'm ill or injured. I can sleep through an
earthquake. Loud music never bothered me. I can sleep
in a barracks as easily as I can sleep on the floor.

If I asked for a subjective measurement, such as
comfort, I'd get garbage. Utter garbage as advice.

Why?

Because people are VASTLY different when it comes to
their subjective assessment of comfort. Any bed is
comfortable, and every bed is comfortable, to me,
but not to you.

Yet, QUALITY and PRICE and STORE is objective.

If I asked for subjective answers, we'd get absolutely
nowhere in this thread. It's not the right forum nor
the right people to assess comfort.

But it is the right forum, I hope, and people, I hope,
to assess price and quality and location.


The one thing about the mattress business is that no matter
where you buy it or which brand you buy, you cannot compare
them.
Every manufacturer that makes them puts different SKU- model
number, etc depending on who it shipped to. The Serta X at
Costco might be the same as the Serta Z at Sams. This has
been an industry standard for years. So if you like the
mattress and the price, buy it.
